Reference to The Ledger editorial "Immigration Bill: Move Ahead, Not in Circles," June 11, America's population and mass-diversity growth started with the 1965 social-engineering immigration laws that fundamentally changed America. They have been unaddressed for more than 40 years, causing many of today's immigration issues.U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., among the eight senators writing immigration reform talking on national TV, said that illegal immigrants have de facto amnesties and something needs to be done.Yes, some things need to be done, but let's address all the issues starting first with enforcement of immigration and visa laws, securing our borders, end chain migration, end noncitizen-birthright citizenships, reduce future immigration levels into the country, and make E-Verify mandatory, English America's official language and repeal Bill Clinton's EO 13166 foreign-language mandate for starters.The arrogance and disrespect toward the American people by this government's Senate immigration-reform plan completely ignores generations of American-born citizens, our security, culture, language, livelihoods, rule of law and lifelong American heritage is unbelievable and should be insulting to every American.WALT BACKLakeland
